Location

Robert E. Lee's Statue
in Lee Circle

Lee Circle,
formerly known as Tivoli Circle, was laid out in 1807 by Lafon. It
was patriotically refurbished 12 years after the Civil War to honor
General Robert E. Lee who stands atop a fluted Doric marble column,
arms folded, resolutely ignoring uptown.

We've hired
shuttles that will run all Saturday afternoon to take you to the
Casino, D-Day Museum, River Walk and French Quarters. Lee
Circle will be on the Shuttle's route so that we can salute our
favorite General.
